Lightbulb Alternate belt setup!!

Hi, happy 4th.

I just recently installed the RB streetable header and presilencer (straight pipe). Mainly beacuse I got a ticket for excessive exhaust noise due to a leak in the precat pipe, so now i am only emmisionsa illegal, but at least its not as loud as before.

I've removed the airpump and haven't set up a the dual pulley belt or yoohoo belt, i think i might just have an alternative. If I can find a belt short enough i plan on just running a belt from the main pulley right to the clutch fan. Does anyone see any sort of problems for this setup?? If I understand correctly, the rotation speed and everything will not change, simply the contact area of the belt-to-clutch fan.

Q: also when removing the air pump, did you guys have to remove this black plastic pipe that reaches all the way to under the passenger side headlight??? or did i disconnect some other pipe and remove it by mistake???


Thanks,

Jahan
